BravoTV.com: Do you still think Cynthia is in love with Peter?
I think Cynthia will always have feelings for Peter, but I also think that she knows it's time to move on and make herself happy.

BravoTV.com: Were you surprised that the girls did not want you to bring Kroy to Barcelona? 
I wasn't surprised at all! Some of these same girls complain that Kroy drops me off or picks me up from events. It's bizarre. You would think that they would support my healthy, happy marriage, but then again they don’t have that, so why would they? It’s evident that they are envious of mine.

I had a stroke, which NeNe clearly likes to mock and make fun of. My stroke occurred within an hour of landing from Los Angeles to Atlanta, so I naturally have a fear inside of me of taking a 10+ hour flight. Being in another country and only being able to count on Shereé is a lot. Thinking about that brought the risks to the forefront of my mind, and those risks weren't worth the reward. I did also consult with my cardiologist (as I’m supposed to) regarding trips this long. My health is very important to me — I have six children that need me! There are certain ladies that supposedly have had blood clots as well, so they should understand.

The ladies were saying that I always have an "excuse" to not go on trips, but it's not an excuse when it's my reality! You call them excuses, I call them facts! When everyone went to Africa, KJ was 3 weeks old, and Kroy was in football camp. Around the Anguilla trip the following year, I was 34 weeks pregnant with Kash and was not willing to travel to an island that you can only get to via boat or helicopter! Bye, girl, bye! My kids are the most important thing to me; I prioritize my life, my marriage, my kids, and my health — all of which come before these fake ladies.

The ladies are spilling even more tea in the After Show:
